Key takeaways

  • It's time to pick the best and worst from the 2026 NFL offseason.
  • As the vast majority of players have been signed, acquired or drafted to their 2026 franchises, I'm going to make my move in advance of the inevitable A.J.
  • Of course, some of those moves are draft picks, so it's still impossibly early to say how a prospect will turn out in the pros.

Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.

The draft is over. It's time to pick the best and worst from the 2026 NFL offseason.

As the vast majority of players have been signed, acquired or drafted to their 2026 franchises, I'm going to make my move in advance of the inevitable A.J. Brown trade. I'm going team-by-team around the league and picking each franchise's best and worst move so far in 2026, starting with the AFC. (I'll hit the NFC next week.)

Of course, some of those moves are draft picks, so it's still impossibly early to say how a prospect will turn out in the pros. With that in mind, I'll try to use the context for where a player was regarded heading into the draft or the typical expectations of what a player drafted in a given round will do as a rookie to estimate their likely production in Year 1.
